I'm not sure I agree even then. There is much more opportunity for an employer to actually be nasty to people who are illegal immigrants as they can do less to stop you, and might even be afraid to complain. And certainly some employers take advantage of this opportunity. But just hiring them, even at a low wage, helps them, so its either neutral or beneficial, not nasty. Maybe your talking about illegally low wages, and not illegal immigrants. But the response would be pretty much the same. If their skills and work habits are so bad they can't demand even minimum wage in the labor market, then they face either unemployment, or under the table sub-minimum work. If they chose the later, than obviously they think its the better choice, so again they are benefiting from it, and its not nasty.
